That's a great tip. Before my kitchen at work was renovated, there was a spot with great air circulation that made chopping onions painless. The new kitchen has no such sweet spot. You can also throw the onions into the freezer for a few minutes before you cut them.
If you're slicing meat (like for a stir-fry), do so when the meat is still partially frozen, this makes it much easier to get really thin slices.
